release notes:
Although the band had already released two demo tapes (or cassette EP's)
in 2022 and 2023 and both were featured on the Bringer Of Gore-released
'Worm-Eaten Corpse' compilation LP, I only ran into Purulent Remains
through the split 7" EP with Horrible, released in spring last year. But
that was all I needed, because I instantly loved their bloody and
gurgling Death Metal, which was cast in a solid Grindcore mould. This 7"
EP was released a couple of months ago through a joint effort between
Extremely Rotten Productions and Headsplit Records.
What I liked the most from the previous recordings is that it showed that
this Spanish band's brand of Grindcore infused Death Metal was actually
not going into violent bursts of blast beats, but still kept the music
interesting throughout. Usually it is the interplay between faster parts
and the sections that are a bit more grooving that gives this music its
overall appeal. Not that Purulent Remains lacks fast, blasting parts
completely, but those eerie, almost Nerophagia-like riffs and the slower
pace gives the music a relatively occult vibe. Maybe not too surprising
as one of the two involved musicians is also active in Nigromancia. But,
don't let that fool you, this is still all about the gory side of Death
Metal with (partially) pitchshifted vocals and juicy, chopping riffs and
ditto rhythms.
In just over 11 minutes the Spanish duo delivers another nice bit of
Death/Grind that would appeal to fans of the old gods like Impetigo,
Carcass, Necrony, Dead Infection and Regurgitate as well as newer kids on
the block such as Pharmacist, Septage and Fluids.
